Survey Point kiosks

Surveypoint enables you to include online consultation surveys on your touch screen kiosks. Surveypoint surveys are designed specifically to be used with touch screen kiosks.

The need for regular consultation is now an ever increasing fact of life in the public sector. Traditional consultation methods such as leafleting, clipboarding and focus groups are time consuming, labour intensive and expensive. The rate of return for leafleting methods is also surprisingly low. For these reasons we’ve launched SurveyPoint, a touch-screen based system that makes life much easier for anyone engaged in gathering information and opinions from the public.

It’s a complete package (the style shown is our lightweight portable model)- everything you need is included and it’s incredibly simple to use for both administrator and client – no IT knowledge is required:

Features:

• Professional, purpose designed software
• Surveys are created in a user-friendly step-by-step configurator
• Formats are flexible with numerous question types and survey structures
• Results are collected online and available in minutes
• Reporting is automated in various handy formats
• Data can be readily exported to other programmes for further analysis
• The system can carry several surveys simultaneously
• Surveys are date-controlled and archived for re-use when complete
• Touch-screen operated so surveys can be completed in seconds
• Colourful “Attract-Loop” sequences to engage potential respondents
• Portable versions wirelessly connected by 3G so can be used virtually anywhere
• 12volt powered – can be used in remote situations with car batteries

Surveys are run on one or many machines simultaneously, all of which can be located in varying widely dispersed locations. Multiple surveys can also be run at the same time if required. The answers to survey questions are collected together wirelessly, and stored at a central server location. This central results server can then be interrogated any time by the admin user and reports containing the results can be downloaded at any time.

The hardware is similarly purpose-designed and our stylish kiosks are available in compact wall-mounted, floor standing or portable variants. All can be substantially branded to suit your environment. Portable units are particularly effective in the outreach context and can be used in virtually any location.

Digital signage is very simple to operate in practice. Content can be created very simply these days and can be for a single location or for many. Once the information is at the site to be played the media player in each display plays the content on the screens as per a pre-established schedule. The images can be of the highest quality and everything is secure.

What are the real features of this, now low cost form of advertising specific products? ….
Customisable messages

Digital signage allows you to customise and schedule your messages based on product type, position of display, time of day etc.

Reach your customer at the point of product selection

Attention grabbing
The dynamic motion of ‘next-to-the-product’ multimedia is bound to get your customer’s attention.
According to the Point-of-Purchase Advertising Institute (POPAI), motion displays outsell static displays by as much as 95%. In addition, full colour images can make a more dynamic impact on a customer.
Generate sales
By targeting products, Digital signage presents a fantastic direct product promotion opportunity. It allows you to directly focus on your customers through targeted campaigns. Adjustments can be made quickly and easily to allow content to be targeted by the season, by the day, by the second or for another reason like sales or price changes.

Save money and time
Digital signage is easy and simple to put in place. You do not have the hassles of co-ordinating the manufacturing, distribution and installation of traditional signage.

Utilisation of retail floor space
With digital signage you can replace one static poster with an unlimited number of dynamic advertisements in the same retail space.

Sell advertising time and space on your signage
You can generate additional marketing and merchandising revenue through digital signage. The promotion of supplier products or services will dramatically increase the impact of your suppliers’ advertising campaigns.

Great return on investment
Dynamic, full motion video can be viewed right at the point of selsction or sale when customers are making their purchase decisions. Digital signs act as an effective and knowledgeable sales person without the pressure threat. That means increased revenue, increased profits and a great return on investment.

Hospitality Kiosks are ideal for greeting visitors in Hotels, on Cruse Ships, Resorts, Timeshares, Conference Centres, Spa Hotels and Holiday Parks

Hospitality Kiosks are ideal for greeting visitors in Hotels, on Cruse Ships, Resorts, Timeshares, Conference Centres, Spa Hotels and Holiday Parks.

Self-service interactive kiosks in a hotel are a great way of giving customers or would be customers up to the minute information about the hotel and the facilities available, without the cluttered look of notice boards and signs. Additionally a hospitality or Hotel kiosk can greet your visitors and sign them in, as well as updating their information or preferences.

Most members of the public are already familiar and comfortable with interacting with self-serve kiosks, and for some people they find that being greeted by a hospitality kiosk as all part of the experience of staying in a hotel with up to the minute technology.

The location of the kiosk is key. The kiosk wants to be clearly visible to visitors as they enter the hotel, so that the kiosks can greet the new arrivals. However the kiosk doesn’t want to be too far from the entrance, so that passers by can use the kiosk to gain information about the hotels room rates, the restaurants menu, and the hotels entertainment or spa and beauty treatments.

For hoteliers, a hospitality kiosk provides a solution to staffing shortages and speeds up check in on arrival times. With a hospitality kiosk taking some of the strain during busy periods, this enables the staff to work more efficiently and effectively and provides visitors with a more enjoyable stay.

A kiosk in the hotel also provides value for money for the visitors, because they are able to access lots of information that the hotel has provided for them. This of course, in turn draws their attention to other facilities available at the hotel, which means that that the hotel can cross sell more services by raising visitor awareness.

Offering great customer service to visitors, as you will be aware increase customer loyalty. Visitors like to return to venues that provide value for money and where they feel they have received exceptional service. So many venues simply offer a room, restaurant and have a foyer with a stand of ‘places to visit’ leaflets but with a kiosk they could dramatically offer more customer service and increase their visitor’s experience.

The information provided by the kiosk could include…

• Arrivals queuing and Check in
• Booking a taxi and find other travel information
• What’s on at the restaurants Menu?
• Book a table at the Restaurant
• Find out about the venues entertainment
• Find out about local entertainment in the vicinity
• City Maps
• What are the room rates?
• What sports, spa and beauty facilities are available?
• Provide customer service feedback forms
• Sponsorship – local companies can sponsor advertising space on kiosks

The hospitality kiosks can be kept up to date remotely, that means that the software to update the kiosks is accessed from a computer, which interacts with the kiosks wirelessly to update their information. If you have multiple kiosks, they will all be updated together and not individually. Because at a click of a mouse the new information and content will update the kiosks ‘in house’, there are no ongoing costs to maintain the information on the kiosk, making them very cost effective. Additionally training is given to those members of staff who will be responsible to maintaining and updating the kiosk’s information point.

Information access kiosks are on their way to a hotel near you!
